That work was based on solution uranium-series (U-series) analysis of calcite deposits overlying rock art in the limestone caves of Maros-Pangkep, South Sulawesi1&amp;ndash;3. Here we use a novel&amp;nbsp;application of this approach&amp;mdash;laser-ablation U-series imaging&amp;mdash;to re-date some of the earliest cave art in this karst area and to determine the age of stylistically similar motifs at other Maros-Pangkep sites. This method provides enhanced spatial accuracy, resulting in older minimum ages for previously dated art. We show that a hunting scene from Leang Bulu&amp;rsquo; Sipong 4, which was originally dated using the previous approach to a minimum of 43,900&amp;thinsp;thousand years ago (ka)3, has a minimum age of&amp;nbsp;50.2&amp;thinsp;&amp;plusmn;&amp;thinsp;2.2 ka, and so is at least 4,040 years older than thought. Using the imaging approach, we also assign a minimum age of 53.5&amp;thinsp;&amp;plusmn;&amp;thinsp;2.3&amp;thinsp;ka to a newly described cave art scene at Leang Karampuang. Painted at least 51,200 years ago, this narrative composition, which depicts human-like figures interacting with a pig, is now the earliest known surviving example of representational art, and visual storytelling, in the world3. Our findings show that figurative portrayals of anthropomorphic figures and animals have a deeper origin in the history of modern human (Homo sapiens) image-making than recognized to date, as does their representation in composed scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
